What if the diviSioniStS do get ma
jority of the votes cast in November!
That won't signify that their chances
are any better for getting into the
Union.
Gen. ALLEN has cast the die, and
either made or unmade himself. The
people will be able to form more correct
conclusions by studying his picture,
printed in this issue of the GLOBE.

The reports concerning Editor LEWIS
standing and popularity at Milbank are
more and more conflicting. The faction
that is opposed to him has been getting
in some fine lace work in Philadelphia
by letter. and it is not so rosy for VoLK-
MAR as it seemed just after his arrest.
Still, everybody is disposed to give him
chance.
The cartoon in this issue correctly
illustrates the situation. Ii it is to the
majors interest the general may drown.
If not, the major will give him hold on
his pole and pull him out.

Editor LEWIS brother was inter
viewed at Washington Oh Dakota pol
itics, under the impression that
he was the only and original
VOLKMAR himself. He played the role
very successfully, however, and will be
given another chance to try his hand on
the return trip.
The governors backbone = about
which so much has been written of late
seems to be about as stiff as ever EX-
Gov. PIERCE, and the other members of
the little army of kickers, will probably
admit this now.

If the Sioux reservation cannot be
opened now, it might be good idea to
utilize it by organizing it into state
just for fun-and allowing CAMPBELL.
MOODY, MELLETTE, KANOUSE, EDGER-
TON, ct al, to play governor, senators
and congressman to their hearts con-
tent. 1t would be a harmless diversion
for them and keep them quiet and out
of mischief until congress got ready to
take up the case of Dakota.

The election is not so very far away in
the distance. yet there is plenty of time
for making corpses. A good many peo-
pie will lose their identity, OF disappear
entirely from view, between now and
November.
The man who owns an abundance
of personal property and no real estate
in Sioux Falls is in luck. If there are
any three-ball shops there it is safe to
say that the newspaper gang, anyhow,
is extremely short Oh personal property.
49,
Col. DAN SCOTT ought to clear up
| the mystery about that duel with Col.
DOMAIN. The story is liable to cast a
blot upon the latter's spotless escutch-
con if it is allowed to remain in it's pres
ent shape.
A boom in tin and a general advance
in mining stocks in the Black Hills
would bring about some wonderful
things. NJ. HI. DAY, for instance, might
stumble on to bonanza.

| There are at least dozen pertinent
and important questions laid away on
ice, which have been addressed to ex-
Gov. PIERCE through the GLOBE. He
ought to answer them-or make an at
tempt to do so-but it seems impossible
to draw him out. The ex-governor is
| lodging, and seems to lack nerve. The
inquiries will keep for an indefinite
period, however. He will have to face
them. A little time will be allowed
him. Then they will be brought to his
attention again, and the people will
pass judgment upon him.

Gen. SARGENT and Commissioner
MCCLURE disagree as to the wheat yield
of Dakota. The latter's figures, how
ever, will be printed in the pamphlet of
statistics.
